Deleeete I was writing about Liverpool's first goal and they made second goal in a short time. Let's shuffle the cards again and I need more popcorn  

A few minutes ago I commented on Liverpool's performance in the first half which did nothing but somehow they turned things around
I can't even believe that it was 2-3 for Liverpool and Liverpool changed the game so fast in 12 minutes Liverpool scored 3 goals
Now less than 10 minutes the match will be over for sure Liverpool go to the final.

[Slow death]

as I said in my last post:

villareal is a shit team, low level and they don't play anything. the problem is that liverpool is playing badly, it's not because villareal is a good team, it's just because liverpool is playing very badly, in that pathetic way that liverpool is playing even the smallest team in the premier league would beat liverpool if were playing like this. see that liverpool's attack is non-existent in this game, they don't even cause a real danger to villareal, it looks like the liverpool players are exhausted, it may be due to pressure in the premier league, anyway liverpool has already scored a goal, so they already have they have an advantage in the aggregate, now they will focus on defense. I lost my bet

Villarreal appear effective in the first half. Villarreal was able to record 56% possession and fired two shots on target which all led to goals. Interestingly, two players who have played in the Premier League namely Etienne Capoue and Francis Coquelin were involved in Villarreal's two goals against Liverpool in the first half. The two players have both played in North London.

now it is

liverpool 2 - 2 villareal

just one more goal for liverpool to win the game

 

now liverpool is already winning the game, and it is safe to say that liverpool is already in the champions league final, honestly it would be a great heartbreak for liverpool to lose to a team like villareal, it would be a great heartbreak, anyway we are already in the final of the champions league, now we just have to wait for the game to end and sit back and watch tomorrow's game and pray that we don't catch City because this time we're going to lose if we play against City, but if we're going to play against real madrid we'll win with absolute certainty and we will be champions league of champions and premier league it will be a glorious year for liverpool

[Cookdata]

Villarreal had a strong motivation in the first half to qualify for the final, if there was no goal from Fabinho then it was a big opportunity for Villarreal. currently the aggregate of villareal vs liverpool is 3-2, both teams play carefully, if liverpool is unlucky then villareal can score another goal.

Your motivation towards Villarreal is not really working and I really feel for them. I mean, how Liverpool was able to equalize 2 goals in the seconds half was so smooth and now they have added another one with an aggregate of 2-5, that gap will be difficult for Villarreal to fill back, trust me, they have lost the chance they had to beat Liverpool. Just some few minutes to end the match, will Villarreal be able to qualify for the final? That's is no from my side, I already knew Liverpool wouldn't take it lightly with them.

First goal helped for Liverpool to break Villareal's pressure. And now they made 2 more goal. Maybe they will find more goals in the remaining time. As every fairy tale has an end, today was the end of the Villarreal's fairy tale. Farewell  Villarreal...

[Odusko]

I.like the way Liverpool took Villarreal by surprise in the second half I never believed Villarreal will end the first half with 2 goals to none but my disbelief was settled after Liverpool already scored 3 goals in the second half. Best of luck to Liverpool and the fans as we are all awaiting the final whistle.

It's a very interesting show. The substitutions made by Liverpool at the start of the second half brought an improvement. Luis Diaz played quite impressively, his movements were quite troublesome for the Villarreal defense and I think the goal he scored had an impact on the mentality of the Villarreal players because after that goal the Villarreal players looked very frustrated.

[bitbollo]

Villareal was quoted at 1.20 on the result of 2 to 0!
Interesting but really risky odds in such kind of event against liverpool.
The english team have shown that they know their stuff by managing to score 3 goals in less than a quarter of an hour ::)I think they are really fit and they confirmed as a really tough team to meet

[Woodie]

This has to be one of the best semi finals I have seen in a long time,and I must give it to Villarreal for putting up a brave fight which almost got them to the finish line, but unfortunately for them Liverpool were just too good to lose today!

Well done to both teams for the sportsmanship and bringing an entertaining game to us, Liverpool be Ready for City or Madrid in the finals...we want the same spirited fight👏

Missed out on this, what was the price on Liverpool 50 odds  

[bitzizzix]

Villarreal played well in the first half and put Liverpool under pressure and also dominated the game in the first half, but somehow in the second half Villarreal seemed to lose consistency and also all the players looked tired.
and what Villarreal is facing is Liverpool who are the best and strongest team in the EPL and also keep attacking tirelessly in a losing or winning position there is no word to defend and that's what I like about Liverpool.
and currently the score is 2-3 goals from Febinho in the 62nd minute, Luis Diaz in the 67th minute and Sadio Mane in the 74th minute. And I hope Mohamed Salah scores a goal at the end of the game.

Liverpool showed a different game in the second half. they dominate attack and are very effective with dangerous finishing.
now even looks difficult for Villarreal to equalize. Capoue had to leave the pitch early to get a second yellow card. that would be very bad for Villarreal. and Liverpool certainly qualified for the final. Congratulations on the win, and congratulations to everyone who has bet on Liverpool. especially when 2 goals are down.

Liverpool's appearance in the second half underwent a very drastic change, this is the genius of Klopp as a coach. He not only has an effective strategy
to make Liverpool's performances can improve significantly in the second half. Klopp is also able to motivate Liverpool players to fight to win matches.
It turned out that Liverpool were able to score 3 goals in the second half in close time, with these 3 goals, Liverpool has been confirmed to get a ticket
to the final. It's a pretty painful ending for Villarreal, because they couldn't play as well as they did in the first half, so they have to admit that Liverpool
deserve more to qualify for the final. But I appreciate Villarreal for making it to the semifinals, even gave a hard fight against Liverpool.

Big victory for Liverpool who responded perfectly to going from 2 goals behind against a defensively resolute Villareal side; Klopp would have to work on the team defensive frailties ahead of the final because you cannot comeback against every team. Villareal meanwhile will learn from this tie and continue the season heads high. As Liverpool qualify for the final of the UEFA Champions League again!!!

Well, I don't know how, but that second half felt incredibly easy after we scored. I can't believe we actually turned that around if you solely base it on how we were playing in the first half. I'd love to be a fly on the wall in that dressing room at half time, because time, and time again Klopp seems to just turn it around. Diaz coming on definitely changed how we played, and what a player to have who is still relatively young for a football player.

I'm hoping for a Madrid vs Liverpool final, as I do believe that's our best chance. The thing is with City, and Liverpool its either a deadlock, a Liverpool mauling or City just manage to perform better than us on the day. So, while I don't think Madrid is a easy game by any stretch of the imagination, I do think it'll be the easier of the two. Not by much mind you, I just find Madrid are more prone to lapse of concentration, just look at the first half of the game against City, as an example.

Unpredictable final score. Liverpool finally escaped with a fairly high aggregate. 5 - 2 second half which was totally unexpected by me. Btw, Moh Salah playing without a goal is quite surprising. Almost many opportunities did not make a single goal scored. When Liverpool bounced back in the second half, I was quite impressed to see Diaz's contribution, who finally got the chance to score.


Congratulations to Liverpool for qualifying for the final, we are looking forward to an equally exciting match between Real Madrid vs Manchester City.

[Yogee]

I missed the first half but what a great start by the home team. They couldn't stop the Liverpool comeback in the second half unfortunately. What was the odds for Liverpool on moneyline at that time? Lucky are those who placed a bet after those two goals.

....
I guess Liverpool will going to the next final. but, I still doubt Liverpool will get the winning against Villareal tonight. the possible loss is 1 different goal and most likely is a draw, and I will bet for the last one, draw.

Too bad that Mane ruined it for you. You probably hate him now hehe.

[bitbollo]

Missed out on this, what was the price on Liverpool 50 odds  

No it wasn't @50 but it was much much lower, max odd @28 as you can see from this graph (source betfair.it exchange games)

In other bookmakers it was offered even lower.

Is not the first time they are able to recover a match "lose". In Italy, at least it is really hard to forget this event

The game is very much over as it is now. Although Villarreal is very much out, it was impressive of them to have attempted what most of us never thought of at least on my part and as hoped, Klopp wasn't prepared to let it happen under his gaze. Liverpool came off strong in the second half, following the tactical substitution Klopp made on Diogo Jota for Luis Diaz and the game was now on Villarreal.

The first goal only meant more goals where to come and one could tell that the shot wasn't really intended after seeing Febinho's hind sight to look out for S. Mane or M. Salah and after being obstructed by Pau Torres, he @Fabinho had to go for a shot at the goal and did net the ball through the goalkeepers legs. A proud moment for Liverpool indeed and you can see them getting right back in the game afterwards. Its Liverpool 5:2 Villarreal on aggregates and Liverpool in the finals.

[Leo]

Unai Emery cost this team of all that hard work in the 1st half by asking them to pack the bus and defend while they already had the momentum. Same mistake they made 1st leg. Liverpool didn't have to lift a finger for any of the goals, awful defending and tactics awarded them these goals.The game changed after Luiz Diaz was brought in. Luiz Diaz has no business sitting on Liverpool's bench. Except if he is injured.Liverpool's defense has a problem in the person or Trent Alexander Arnold. Dude is good going forward but he's first a defender. His ineptitude caused the second goal
